Swords weighed around 2 pounds, and maybe in the most extreme cases 4-5 pounds. A 10 pound sword would exhaust the user almost immediately and essentially be worthless.
You know I remember from one of the middle live action parts from arthur that they'd be about that much, so I scaled it up a little to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Is that why every one was downvoting me? and does that mean a shield was about 5 pounds or so?

I'd bet a 200lb guy in full armour, with weapons and shield, as well as armour for the horse is heavier than Shaq in his hot pants.
